John

No baited then? :eek: Sorry my wicked sense of humour at it again.

An additional thought two witnesses looking at a wind turbine one in front the baldes turn clockwise, one looking from behind the blades turn anticlockwise.

They are both right in their evidence discussions can be the same.

Very nice shot by the way.
:wink:

"Cute" in every way! Being a digital only tog who is far too young to know what you lot are talking about (film..? What's THAT?), I can only assume I missed out on something and I am in the post-golden era of photography :toast:

Cannot comment on the different stages of photography but I do think this is a delightful picture. :toast:

Thanks all.
Most of us used Ecktachrome in those days as it was non process paid so you could take it in and get it done in a few hours. This was good as usually there was a lot of rubbish in the shots and you co do them again (sometimes !)
